Salary negotiation can be overwhelming at any stage of your career but especially so if you are about to start your first job. Make sure you get the highest salary possible without scaring off potential employers.

While it’s true that career fairs are an effective job search method for
many people, they do get crowded with searchers. Plus, there are some hassles involved such as long hours and lengthy wait times for meetings. You
can bypass some of that competition and waiting by looking to some
great alternatives.

Mariah Carey recently revealed that working on American Idol was the

pretty penny. So Carey’s recently dishing of her former boss begs the
question, “Is there any case when you should talk bad about an old job?”
